I recently came across a bag containing an assortment of eggs and a gorgeous tin filled with all sorts of pretty Easter goodness. It was my kind of Peep Show. Peep Show At the very bottom of the tin were these postcards. I love to read the messages on the back and wonder about the people who received them. On top of the postcards, I found an assortment of bunnies and peeps. Aren't these wonderful? I am using a few things on the Easter and Mother's Day corsages that I am ... View the Post
Hummingbird Happiness
This is currently the view from our back door featuring a very dirty patio chandelier that hangs above our patio table. I had set out to do a bit of spring cleaning earlier in the week and found a little something that said it would have to wait. Hummingbird Happiness. Hummingbird Happiness The following images feature a different angle taken through the glass doors. The quality is a bit poor, but I know you'll forgive me as you probably wouldn't want to disturb such a wee mother either. ... View the Post

A Lesson in Love and Friendship

A Love Story Set in Stone
It's been awhile since I've done a post on historical architecture. They generally require several hours (sometimes days) of research on my part and I just haven't had the time. But here is A Love Story Set in Stone. In thinking about Valentine's Day I asked myself last week "Are there any buildings that have been built for love alone?" My mind quickly recalled that I had done a thesis paper on such a marvel for a historical architecture class. Interestingly enough, I asked my original ... View the Post
